To install a Linux system
My problem is that I am currently running windows ME and it is impossible to get anything done with it. So, I would like to install a Linux system, I am currently looking at ubuntu. I had fallowed the instructions, saved it to a flash drive, and the Ashton for some reason opened an old AOL page to set up a dial up connection. I don't know why it did this because I am connected to a LAN cable and can freely search the web on explorer. Does anybody know how to get around this?

Obvious spammer.
Why do many (not all) of these spammers show up with a birthday of November 30th? Is November 30th some default birth date? |

How do you know it's a spammer? I can't see any links to spam pages.

If the machine came with ME, I doubt any modern linux with a desktop will run on it.
|
AntiX might!

There is also the issue of booting from a flash drive. Most systems of that era didn’t have that capability.

What is an Ashton?

It’s, something that opens an “old” AOL page to set up a dial-up connection.
Actually, I assume it was “action”. |
1. I don't see indication of spam. No links, or invites to contact them. Just a question.
2. There are people who do not/can not buy new computers on a regular basis. There are still computers in this world from the 95/98/ME era. I've got 3. To the OP, I'm not sure which Linux distribution you'd need to run on your architecture (16bit/32bit?), but it would likely be a very old version. It would also likely not be secure by today's standards, and with limited capabilities. As a previous post mentioned, you probably would not be able to boot from USB, and would need a distro that could be installed from CD/DVD. |

The biggest indication that it’s a bot, to me, is that nothing it wrote makes sense. This is colorless-green-ideas-sleep-furiously level of nonsense. And that’s even if I’m REALLY generous in factoring in excuses like online translators and autocorrect.
